Hey guys i'm having some trouble with a brand new monitor
when i built my current PC about 3 months ago i only purchased one monitor it was an Asus vs239
about a week ago i ordered another one well the first monitor is hooked up to my dvi port and i'm trying to get the second one hooked to the HDMI port on my sapphire 7950 sadly it only has one dvi port and i didn't quite plan on having more than one monitor at the time. well the second one will not display anything however it works fine, i tried switching them around.
now if i boot up my PC then i proceed with plugging the second monitor into the HDMI port everything goes black for a few seconds then i can see my background but no icons or anything, on the first monitor but just blackness on the second one, it also freezes when i try to pull up task manager.
hopefully you guys can shed some light on my situation or at least point out some stupid mistake i made.
